Guided Meditation

   Led by Venerable Carol Corradi
   Tuesdays
   7:00pm – 8:00pm



​Our Tuesday drop-in meditation sessions provide an ideal environment for new students to learn how to meditate, and for seasoned meditators to deepen their practice.

We use meditation to work with our minds and to cultivate the potential of the mind to experience more happiness.  Both neuroscience and medical research have studied the effects of meditation and discovered many benefits of this practice.  These include stress reduction, lower blood pressure, increased attention, less anger, greater positive mental states, and an increase in our capacity for peace and happiness.
Beyond that, meditation is an essential part of our spiritual practice if we are wanting to attain spiritual realizations.
